I don't even know what I have

Good night!
I am a 25 -year -old girl with something confusing about what has been spending a few months ago;I tell you.
It has been a night for a night to start dizzy and find me really bad, so much as to go to the Emergencies, they didn't find anything weird and they made my first sugar test, I got 66 and the doctor told me that I had a hypoglycemiaSurely because I had not eaten in a few hours, I recommend that my header did me a glucose monitoring, several days plus the levels were almost always around 64, it was nothing alarming, but they sent me some blood analysis, whereBasal insulin came out in 8 UU/ml and glucose in 77. They sent me to the endocrine where in several months the analysis repeated leaving levels of basal insulin 14 UU/m and normal glucose and in the next 9 of basal insulin and again normal glucose;

I have simply forbidden my sugar and I have to make 5 meals a day, but nobody explains nothing more.
I have only had a visit to the endocrine and I have it next March, what worries me is that the header doctor at first commented that I could be long -term diabetics and then seeing the following analysis told me no, thatWhat they did not know was because the insulin levels are high, and that it couldSay anything, and I have thought that you with your experience could guide me, I thank you very much, and I send you a greeting: D

Hello Yoisolda,
I would advance the visit to the endocrine, until March it is a long time, I sincerely did not trust the header, I have a bad experience, I went with clear symptoms of diabetes, and he did not see them, and I send me for home sayingThat he had an urine infection, it was a neglect, the consequences could have been disastrous, because I could have entered into a diabetic coma, then I asked me a thousand forgives, there will be doctors of great headers, but my mother, mine has much has much todesire, of course I have changed and I only see it in the halls, :)) :)) :))
Greetingsssss,

Hi Anabeg!Thanks for answering ..., the endocrine already saw me and also when I had the highest insulin levels (14) and it has been the same one that since June, has given me the appointment in March, I do not know whether to think what happens orIt does not give importance;
I tell the head doctor that seemed to me many months, but social security we already know that sometimes is delayed.
The endocrine apart from doing the insulin test tb me from a lot of hormones more in which the levels altered with the typical asterisk come out, but that I have no idea that they can mean, but until March .....nothing.

Yoisolda, those diagnoses take their time because you have to see evolution.If you are in the hands of a good endocrine, do what he tells you and be calm, which is the best :)

Welcome to the forum, Yoisolda!
If the endocrine is a good specialist and says that until March he does not see you, I do not think you should give it more importance.If it were something serious, I suppose they would do another type of tests to rule out what was much faster.That in principle.If you are not convinced you will have to ask for a second opinion, but another specialist.

Keep counting.

I agree with what has been said.
It seems to me (opinion without any validity) that you could have what is called "reactive hypoglycemia", that is, a kind of excessive reaction of your pancreas to hydrates, producing more insulin of the account.But it must be the endocrine who values ​​it.
If you don't get much about him, he asks for a second opinion.

Health

Thank you very much for the tips!I will have to wait, to remedy, unless it makes me worse than I hope I don't.
Anyway, tell you that my endocrine is weird with desire ... In the first consultation that I was, I "ignore" completely, I did not even want to repeat the analyzes or do more tests, (June) that I went on vacation, I would have a good timeand I will forget the stress;I tell him that I take hormonal contraceptives, since this can alter insulin levels, and that if it was important, no, it does not matter, but leave them if you want for 3 months, I repeat the analyzes and then return ... but notRequest consultation or anything, that I attend you by phone, call me in October.
I call him and of course he does not remember me, it happens to me with the nurse who confirms that I have the appointment in March, it happens with him again and he asks me good and how such?
Well, have I had hypoglycemia last week as soon as you have breakfast, and what have you had breakfast?Cookies, milk with COO tail and a juice ... no, no, neither cool or cookies, milk with bread and ham: ((; ok if I have no appointment until so late at least I can continue with the contraceptives? Eh... If returns, come back.
End of my phone "quote", at least the diet could have explained it to me in consultation, in short.
Ah!tell you that I have a speech of those who measure the sugar, inherited from my sister's recent gestational diabetes, I have taken the sugar from time to time and except a little dizzy with 64 of sugar of sugar the rest of the days it has been normal;
My glucose and insulin levels coincide with yours or when did you start with the symptoms?Because for what I have read rather you have the highest glucose, right?
: Oops: Forgive my ignorance and thanks again.

Yoisolda, we debut with infinitely higher glucose levels because we lack completely (or almost, in most cases) of insulin.My debut was with more than 600, which is an exaggeration (I was measured 3h after eating a McDonalds hamburger ... No comments xD) but the typical ones are 300. Your symptoms do not match those of a diabetes.I can't advise you about the rest, although you could ask for a second opinion.As for the cause of the cause, if so and assuming that the man paid attention to that possibility, I say that some clue would have been seen in an analysis and that if the endo is calm, something will be but I doubt that it isA tumor ...

You will tell us, encouragement

Montrial, an amburger from the Macdonals ???:)) You made the debut big, hehehe
I reached 430 after a coffee with milk and two bread toast ...

Anyway, I have to say, that I had been giving me hiccup symptoms from the age of 18, (although I didn't know it was a hypo).Tremor in the hands, nervousness, cold sweat and desire to sweetly.At first I spent every 3 or 4 months, but this year in spring I had a season that happened to me more often, some week up to 3 or 4 times.I remember that one of the time, I measured with my grandmother's glucometer and gave me 100, so I ruled out that it was a loss of sugar.And for neglect, and because I did not go to the doctor ... but now, consulting him with the endocrine of the hospital, he told me that, that they had been hypoglycemia.It is the usual, after things happen to you, you bite ends ...

It does not have to be what happens to you, Yoisolda, also if you have already seen an endocrine, you already know your case and are already warned.Be calm and took care of a little.
And if one day you get to have symptoms of diabetes, a lot thirst, go to service, and more hunger than normal, do not leave it and go to the doctor.

What do you want me to tell you ... They made me a blood test at 8 am and at 2pm they had not yet told us anything (nothing at all, not even instructions for "Do not do this just in case") so IThey led to eat ... and of course.Well, I wanted to hamburger, which was something that I did not usually take.The anger that the nurse threw us when they confirmed the analysis and saw the hair glycemia was championship ...

Hi guys!
I tell you how I continue, the truth is that it is not going worse for me, I usually take sugar once a day and when it usually goes down it is when I have not yelled that I usually walk through the 60s and something, but not always,Last week I kept very well between 70 and 80 without snacking and the Saturday that was very dizzy I took the scared sugar and nothing, because I do not go down the whole day of 80 so I imagine that I would be for another cause.
Today without any symptom I just took the sugar and had 55, being perfectly with nothing more than the typical fatigue after a curre day.
My question is: if a "normal" person who does not have any kind of these problems does not snack, can also lower the sugar or keep it even when it does not eat in three or four hours?
Thanks and to follow the best possible.

Hi Yoisolda ... It seems strange to me that in the doctor they have not explained you anymore about why they give you those downs.The normal levels are 70-100 on an empty stomach so from there you value.I would insist with the doctor again to see what is happening.I don't think it is normal to have the sugar at 55. You have not said if you are taking any medication?Where do you live?

It is true what the companions comment on the symptoms such as tremors, hunger for "sweet", nervousness, tachycardia ... The first time I gave me a real hypoglycemia I knew that what happened to me, for more than one more than oneyear, it was the same.According to my endocrine, it cannot be, because sugar is only low from 70 when you click insulin, and an hypo is even lower.But then they have also explained that when you have been with the high glucose values ​​for some time, the body is habituated and you feel the symptoms of hypoglycemia long before it is "real" ... so I suppose that is what happened to us.I remember getting up at midnight to eat something sweet, chocolate ... and debor it with authentic desire.Then I returned to bed feeling glottone and very guilty.The truth is that since I started treating me diabetes, it has not happened to me again.I am not awake anxious to eat something sweet.

I debuted with 543: After a coffee with milk, an orange juice and a snack that the nurse told me because due to the basal glucose levels he did not dare to give me the bottle of glucose ... I will never forget that figure!!

María J., there are times that the pancreas secretes more insulin than it should, are states of hyperinsulinism that produce hypoglycemia.This can end, or not, in a diabetes.But a complex study is needed to give a definitive diagnosis.That is why we say that you are carried away by the endo and that, if more serious problems have been ruled out, it is quiet.
:)

Thanks for answering;
I tell you, I have not explained anything about carbohydrates, nor am I taking any medication, I have never liked the sweet and I do not suffer that appetite that you comment.
The only thing that they have told me is to make 5 meals to day and that it does not eat anything sugar, I do not give me more explanations because according to them, the levels I present are neither of a diabetes nor of something tumor in the pancreas since they would behigher.
The thing to go to a private endocrine I do not contemplate it because I do not agree with private medicine, which for that we already have the social security and also many times are the same doctors.
It is clear that having 55 sugar is not very normal, if it were normal, I would not be in this forum: p.

Greetings.

Yosilda even if you are reluctant to go to a private endocrine (which seems very well) in this case I would tell you that as soon as a diagnosis is first, measures can be taken and if it serves to avoid or delay entering this slavery I would look for anotheropinion even for private medicine.

You can find a second opinion in public medicine.You just have to ask for a change of specialist and that's it.

Health

Thanks for the clarification about hyperinsulinism.

I have had bad previous experiences in public medicine, very bad ... so in this case, specifically, I would look for a second opinion to get quieter.It is what I would do based on my previous experiences, but I do not mean that nobody has to do it: we are of legal age.

At last!!I just came from my expected consultation with the endocrine ...... and accordingNormal and that the analysis repeats me within 2 or 3 months, because I get altered (very high) the levels of prolactin, which I have no idea what it can be.
When at the levels of sugar, after telling him that in my last "hypo" I had levels of 80, at the moment that is because of that, and that the dizziness will be due to something else.wait;I have insisted on whether it can be confirmed that it will be diabetic or not in the future, and he shrugs and gives me long ... so it is not known.
But well, I have come out for the moment quite happy, greetings ....

They gave me symptoms of hypoglycemia, in my debut, but I associate it rather that since the hydrates did not enter the cells (they remain in blood) the body generated the need to drink food.Come on, they were actually hyperglycemia.
